Freedom, and the balance of our human right to sovereignty rides on who has power, who doesn’t, and what those with power do with it. I’m curious about how hierarchy and power apply to extremes health states, ones when a person is Read more about Extreme Health States And What To Do[…]

I’m sitting amongst a group of deep-living women. I know this by how they speak of themselves; one speaks of death, and its provocative place in her art-making. Another, after decades of moontimes, tearfully names that it has ended, and how that too is a dying and a birth.

Scientists in Sweden (and since then, the world over) researched how people Read more about Will You Die Like You Were Born?[…]

Up here in the north Pacific, we sit under smoke-filled skies. Those of you in the Southern Hemisphere are no stranger to summer wildfires. It’s uncanny when the world, writ large, moves in and makes herself known– we are truly at her mercy.
